In reply to the discussion: My (apparent) little victory over Fox "News"! [View all]hog
(51 posts)8. Same as me at my former bank.
I was having a bad day when the people at my bank seemed to be having a hard time finding $5,000 in big bills to cash a check. Two TVs over the counter were on Fux News. I asked if they could change channels. No, rules from headquarters. I withdrew my checking and CD along with my mother's checking and life savings and moved to the bank down the street. Got a little better interest rate as a result. I'm sure it didn't "break the bank" but if more people did what I did, maybe we wouldn't have to put up with Fox.

Never been in Maine, but sending you a hearty thank you! Whenever I hear FNN on a store TV, I fuss.

That applies to canned music, not broadcast programming. The stations pay those fees.

"rules from headquarters" - does fox pay companies to do this? Serious question.

I quit my gym because Fox was on in front of the treadmills and elipticals constantly.

Thank you. I did the same once at Red Lobster. They changed to sports.
